    The notion of truth is entailed by the subject line:
    misconception means ~True.

    The title line means that something is misunderstood but that
    something
    is not the meaning of "true".

    It is untrue because it is misunderstood.

    Mathematical incompleteness is not a claim so it cannot be untrue.

    That mathematical incompleteness coherently exists <is> claim.

    Yes, but you didn't claim that.

    The closest that it can possibly be interpreted as true would
    be that because key elements of proof[0] have been specified
    as not existing in proof[math] math is intentionally made less
    than complete.

    Math is not intentionally incomplete.

    You paraphrased what I said incorrectly.
    Proof[math] was defined to have less capability than Proof[0].

    But your INVENTED Proof[0] isn't actually what a proof is.


    Many theories are incomplete,
    intertionally or otherwise, but they don't restrict the rest of math.
    But there are areas of matheimatics that are not yet studied.

    When-so-ever any expression of formal or natural language X lacks
    a connection to its truthmaker X remains untrue.

    An expresion can be true in one interpretation and false in another.


    I am integrating the semantics into the evaluation as its full context.
    When we do this and require an expression of formal or natural language
    to have a semantic connection to its truthmaker then true[0] cannot
    exist apart from provable[0].'

    And don't undetstand that you can't SHOW an infinite sequence to make
    something your Proof[0].

    You just have a fundamental (or is it a funny mental) misunderstanding
    of what you are trying to talk about, because you just can't understand
    the words.


    True[math] can only exist apart from Provable[math] within
    the narrow minded, idiomatic use of these terms. This is
    NOT the way that True[0] and Provable[0] actually work.

    But, until you can actually DEFINE what you mean in a coherent method, everything you claim is juat a lie.


    My point is much more clear when we see that Tarski attempts
    to show that True[0] is undefinable. https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_247_248.pdf https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf


    But Tarski isn't talking about True[0], as that is something you have
    made up.

    This shows your claim is just a LIE, as should everything you say be
    presumed until you actually prove it (per the REAL definition of prove).

    Sorry, you are just proving that you are nothing but a pathological
    lying idiot.

    When one thinks of math as only pertaining to numbers then math
    is inherently very limited.

    That's right. That limited area should be called "number theory",
    not "mathematics".

    When one applies something like
    Montague Grammar to formalize every detail of natural language
    semantics then math takes on much more scope.

    It is not possible to specify every detail of a natural language.
    In order to do so one should know every detail of a natural language.
    While one is finding out the language changes so that the already
    aquired knowledge is invalid.

    When we see this then we see "incompleteness" is a mere artificial contrivance.

    Hallucinations are possible but only proofs count in mathematics.

    True(x) always means that a connection to a semantic
    truthmaker exists. When math does this differently it is simply
    breaking the rules.

    Mathematics does not make anything about "True(x)". Some branches care
    about semantic connections, some don't. Much of logic is about comparing semantic connections to syntactic ones.

    Many theories are incomplete,
    intertionally or otherwise, but they don't restrict the rest of math.

    Then you cannot have all the advantages of formal logic. In particular,

    All of the rules of correct reasoning (correcting the errors of
    formal logic) are merely semantic connections between finite strings:

    There are no semantic connections between uninterpreted strings.
    With different interpretations different connections can be found.

    When one finite string expression of language is known to be true
    other expressions are know to be semantically entailed.

    Only if they are connected with (semantic or other) connections that
    are known to preserve truth.

    When we do this and require an expression of formal or natural language
    to have a semantic connection to its truthmaker then true[0] cannot
    exist apart from provable[0].

    Maybe, maybe not. Without the full support of formal logic it is hard to
    prove. An unjustified faith does not help.

    It all has always boiled down to semantic entailment.

    Which is hard to show without the full support of formal logic.

    We could equally define a "dead cat" to be a kind of {cow}.
    Math does not get to change the way that truth really works,
    when math tries to do this math is incorrect.

    Math does not care how truth works outside mathematics. But the truth
    about mathematics works the way truth usually does.

    My point is much more clear when we see that Tarski attempts

    Tarski is the foremost author of the whole notion of every
    kind of truth. "snow is white" because within the actual state
    of affairs the color of snow is perceived by humans to be white.

    Many philosophers before and after Tarski have tried to find out what
    truth really is and how it works.

    All of the rules of correct reasoning (correcting the errors of
    formal logic) are merely semantic connections between finite strings:

    There are no semantic connections between uninterpreted strings.
    With different interpretations different connections can be found.


    When we do not break the evaluation of an expression of language
    into its syntax and semantics such that these are evaluated
    separately and use something like Montague Semantics to formalize
    the semantics as relations between finite strings then

    it is clear that any expression of language that lacks a connection
    through a truthmaker to the semantics that makes it true simply remains untrue.

    But no one has been claiming that, so you are just fighting strawmen.

    The problem is these links can be infinite, and proofs must be finite.

    Something you don't seem to be able to understand.


    In the big picture way that truth really works there cannot
    possibly be true[0](x) that is not provable[0](x) where x
    is made true by finite strings expressing its semantic meanings.

    Of course there can, it just needs an infinite sequence of steps to show true[0](x), then that sequnence isn't a proof.


    When one finite string expression of language is known to be true
    other expressions are know to be semantically entailed.

    Only if they are connected with (semantic or other) connections that
    are known to preserve truth.


    Yes, there must be truth preserving operations.
    Formal logic fails at this some of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion

    And what non-truth perserving operation was used?

    The problem that principle of explosion points out is that once you have
    an assertion that a false statement is true, then this error propagates.

    Your problem is you are using your never-learn-because-of-ignorance of
    logic to just prove your utter stupidity, and that you are just a
    pathological liar.


    The only thing that is actually semantically entailed by a
    contradiction is FALSE. (A & ~A) ⊨ FALSE

    Nope, because if you HAVE asserted that both sides of the contradiction
    ARE TRUE, then you have in effect asserted that falsehood is truth.


    I fail to understand how anyone could be gullible enough into
    being conned into believing that anything besides FALSE is
    entailed by a contradiction.

    When we do this and require an expression of formal or natural
    language
    to have a semantic connection to its truthmaker then true[0] cannot
    exist apart from provable[0].

    Maybe, maybe not. Without the full support of formal logic it is
    hard to
    prove. An unjustified faith does not help.

    It all has always boiled down to semantic entailment.

    Which is hard to show without the full support of formal logic.


    We simply leave most of formal logic as it is with some changes:
    (1) Non-truth preserving operations are eliminated.

    And what are those?


       A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if
       it takes a form that makes it impossible for the premises
       to be true and the conclusion nevertheless to be false.

    *We correct the above fundamental mistake*
       A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if
       it takes a form that the conclusion is a necessary

    And what does that actually MEAN?

    Are you saying that the arguement:

    Assert True that A is true

    Therefore B is true.

    Since we don't know what A and B are, and thus if the conclusion is a "necessaery consequence" of its premises, or is that necessary
    consequence satisified by the fact that it is impossible for B to not be
    true if A is true due to the first assertion.



    (2) Semantics is fully integrated into every expression of
    language with each unique natural language sense meaning
    of a word having its own GUID.

    ??? DO IT THEN. USE all the GUIDs, with a source to the actual meaning.

    One problem is words don't work that way, and actually can have at one
    time a continum of meanings at once, so GUID marking doesn't actually work.

    Problem is that Formal Logic is actually just syntactic, not semantic,
    because semantic logic just doesn't work well, as you can't prove things
    in general.


    True[math] can only exist apart from Provable[math] within
    the narrow minded, idiomatic use of these terms. This is
    NOT the way that True[0] and Provable[0] actually work.

    If you want that to be true you need to define True[math] differently
    from the way "truth" is used by mathimaticians.

    We could equally define a "dead cat" to be a kind of {cow}.
    Math does not get to change the way that truth really works,
    when math tries to do this math is incorrect.

    Math does not care how truth works outside mathematics. But the truth
    about mathematics works the way truth usually does.


    Math is not allowed to break these rules without making math incorrect.

    And you are not allowed to break the rules of mathematics, and just you
    just prove yourself to be a liar.

    Sorry, all you have done is proved you don't know what you are talking
    about, and don't care.


    My point is much more clear when we see that Tarski attempts
    to show that True[0] is undefinable.
    https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_247_248.pdf
    https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf

    Tarski did not attempt to show that True[0] is undefinable. He showed
    quite successfully that arthmetic truth is undefinable. Whether that
    proof applies to your True[0] is not yet determined.

    Tarski is the foremost author of the whole notion of every
    kind of truth. "snow is white" because within the actual state
    of affairs the color of snow is perceived by humans to be white.

    Many philosophers before and after Tarski have tried to find out what
    truth really is and how it works.

    Since you have already "ruined your brain" those odds don't seem bad.

    Good to hear you health has a good chance of improving, maybe it will
    give you time to actually learn something, but I sort of doubt it.

    Since you don't understand that nature of Formal Logic, which is where everything you try to talk about exists, you are basically doomed to
    failure. I suggest stopping to understand what formal logic actually is
    before trying to redefine it.

    Math is not intentionally incomplete.

    You paraphrased what I said incorrectly.

    No, I did not paraphrase anything.

    Proof[math] was defined to have less capability than Proof[0].

    When one thinks of math as only pertaining to numbers then math
    is inherently very limited.

    That's right. That limited area should be called "number theory",
    not "mathematics".

    When one applies something like
    Montague Grammar to formalize every detail of natural language
    semantics then math takes on much more scope.

    It is not possible to specify every detail of a natural language.
    In order to do so one should know every detail of a natural language.
    While one is finding out the language changes so that the already
    aquired knowledge is invalid.

    When we see this then we see "incompleteness" is a mere artificial
    contrivance.

    Hallucinations are possible but only proofs count in mathematics.

    True(x) always means that a connection to a semantic
    truthmaker exists. When math does this differently it is simply

    I am integrating the semantics into the evaluation as its full

    With different interpretations different connections can be found.


    When we do not break the evaluation of an expression of language
    into its syntax and semantics such that these are evaluated
    separately and use something like Montague Semantics to formalize
    the semantics as relations between finite strings then

    it is clear that any expression of language that lacks a connection
    through a truthmaker to the semantics that makes it true simply remains
    untrue.

    But no one has been claiming that, so you are just fighting strawmen.

    The problem is these links can be infinite, and proofs must be finite.


    Math is only incomplete when it is intentionally defined
    in such a way to make it incomplete.

    In other words, you admit that you don't under how the logic you are

    think sounds good.

    Your problem is you think you know what you are talking about, but don't undetstand that you don't understand what the words you are using
    actually mean.

    You can't use the terminology of logic, but with changed meaning, to
    make comments about that logic.

    Maybe if you try to actually come up with a somewhat formal definition
    of what you what to be talking about, you could acheive something.

    But, when you try to use your poorly defined ideas to say that people
    who aren't using your logic are wrong about the logic they are talking
    about, a logic which you clearly just do not understand, all it does is
    show that you are nothing but a pathological liar.

    If by "truth" you don't mean what others mean by truth, and by "proof"
    you don't mean what other people mean by proof, then of course your idea
    of incompleteness isn't what other people are talking about.

    And thus when you try to say they are wrong, you are just proving you
    are nothing but a stupid liar.

    You have no idea of what mathematics is, or its history, and thus you
    have doomed yourself to just repeat all the errors others have made.

    Mathematics was not intentionally made incon=mplete, and if you knew
    your history, one of the big goals was to try to find a way to show it
    was in fact complete.

    The big shakeup a centery ago was the fact that some people finally
    figured out some fairly simple proofs that showed that for even
    relatively basic logic system, as long as they had a few of the basic
    useful properties, became incomplete, and thus different ways to look at
    things had to be developed.

    Basically, it was discovered that systems that could handle certain
    classes of the infinite, just couldn't be complete, as their bounds of
    truth grew faster than the bounds of possible knowledge.

    Your problem seems to stem because you don't really understand any of
    these: Truth, Knowledge, or the infinite, and thus you are stuck not understanding what has happened, and just repeat the errors of those a
    century ago that couldn't handle it either (though many of them did
    eventually figure it out).

    Sorry, but you are just showing your utter ignorance of what you are
    talking about, and that you just don't care about what is actually true.

    All of the rules of correct reasoning (correcting the errors of
    formal logic) are merely semantic connections between finite strings:

    There are no semantic connections between uninterpreted strings.
    With different interpretations different connections can be found.


    When we do not break the evaluation of an expression of language
    into its syntax and semantics such that these are evaluated
    separately and use something like Montague Semantics to formalize
    the semantics as relations between finite strings then

    it is clear that any expression of language that lacks a connection
    through a truthmaker to the semantics that makes it true simply remains untrue.

    Of course, completness can be achieved if language is sufficiently
    restricted so that sufficiently many arithemtic truths become inexpressible.

    It is far from clear that a theory of that kind can express all arithmetic truths that Peano arithmetic can and avoid its incompletness.

    In the big picture way that truth really works there cannot
    possibly be true[0](x) that is not provable[0](x) where x
    is made true by finite strings expressing its semantic meanings.

    When one finite string expression of language is known to be true
    other expressions are know to be semantically entailed.

    Only if they are connected with (semantic or other) connections that
    are known to preserve truth.


    Yes, there must be truth preserving operations.

    More inportant is that there are no other operations.

    Formal logic fails at this some of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion

    That is not a failure.

    The only thing that is actually semantically entailed by a
    contradiction is FALSE. (A & ~A) ⊨ FALSE

    Yes. And if false is true then everything is true because in ordinary
    logic (A ∨ ~A) is a tautology.

    I fail to understand how anyone could be gullible enough into
    being conned into believing that anything besides FALSE is
    entailed by a contradiction.

    Indeed. Everybody should understand that a contradiction entails FALSE, too.

    We simply leave most of formal logic as it is with some changes:
    (1) Non-truth preserving operations are eliminated.

    There are none anyway.

    A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if
    it takes a form that makes it impossible for the premises
    to be true and the conclusion nevertheless to be false.
    https://iep.utm.edu/val-snd/

    Yes. That is a feature of any formal logic system when interpreted so that logical operations satisfy their defining axioms.

    However, that requirement involves semantics so it is not applicable to
    a purely formal system.

    *We correct the above fundamental mistake*
    A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if
    it takes a form that the conclusion is a necessary
    consequence of its premises.

    Not possible unless you define "necessafy consequence".

    (2) Semantics is fully integrated into every expression of
    language with each unique natural language sense meaning
    of a word having its own GUID.

    One kind of semantics. Different interpretations are still possible.

    True[math] can only exist apart from Provable[math] within
    the narrow minded, idiomatic use of these terms. This is
    NOT the way that True[0] and Provable[0] actually work.

    If you want that to be true you need to define True[math] differently
    from the way "truth" is used by mathimaticians.

    We could equally define a "dead cat" to be a kind of {cow}.
    Math does not get to change the way that truth really works,
    when math tries to do this math is incorrect.

    Math does not care how truth works outside mathematics. But the truth
    about mathematics works the way truth usually does.

    Math is not allowed to break these rules without making math incorrect.

    It is. You have no authority to prohibit anything.

    https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_247_248.pdf

    Tarski did not attempt to show that True[0] is undefinable. He showed

    When one thinks of math as only pertaining to numbers then math
    is inherently very limited.

    That's right. That limited area should be called "number theory",
    not "mathematics".

    When one applies something like
    Montague Grammar to formalize every detail of natural language
    semantics then math takes on much more scope.

    It is not possible to specify every detail of a natural language.
    In order to do so one should know every detail of a natural language. >>>>>> While one is finding out the language changes so that the already
    aquired knowledge is invalid.

    When we see this then we see "incompleteness" is a mere artificial >>>>>>> contrivance.

    Hallucinations are possible but only proofs count in mathematics.

    True(x) always means that a connection to a semantic
    truthmaker exists. When math does this differently it is simply
    breaking the rules.

    Mathematics does not make anything about "True(x)". Some branches
    care
    about semantic connections, some don't. Much of logic is about
    comparing
    semantic connections to syntactic ones.

    Then you cannot have all the advantages of formal logic. In
    particular,
    you need to be able to apply and verify formally invalid
    inferences.

    All of the rules of correct reasoning (correcting the errors of
    formal logic) are merely semantic connections between finite
    strings:

    There are no semantic connections between uninterpreted strings.
    With different interpretations different connections can be found. >>>>>>

    making the expression true.

    The prototype of a fallacy that he referred to is the
    recursive structure of pathological self-reference that
    never resolves to a truth value.

    And, such a mapping can't exist if the language allows references like:

    x is defined to be !True(L, x)

    As such a statement can't be mapped to True or False without also
    mapping True to False or False to True.

    Note, he shows that such a statement CAN be formed in logic system with

    When we do not break the evaluation of an expression of language
    into its syntax and semantics such that these are evaluated
    separately and use something like Montague Semantics to formalize
    the semantics as relations between finite strings then

    it is clear that any expression of language that lacks a connection
    through a truthmaker to the semantics that makes it true simply remains
    untrue.

    Of course, completness can be achieved if language is sufficiently
    restricted so that sufficiently many arithemtic truths become
    inexpressible.


    This does not make any sense to me. It is not that truth remains inexpressible. We simply make the system expressible enough that
    all of those truths made true through a truthmaker connection to
    their formalized semantic meaning can reach this semantic meaning.

    The problem is that some truths exist whose only chain to the truthmaker
    is an infinite chain, and infinite chains of connections do not qualify
    as a proof.

    The canonical example is perhaps Godel's statement G, that there does
    not exist a natual number g that satisfies a particular primitive
    recursive relationship. This statement is true, because that PRR was
    carefully defined so there couldn't be a number to make it true, but
    there also was no possible finite proof of that fact. There is an
    infinite chain of reasoning that does connect it, as we can test each
    natural number, and see that none of them match, but since there is a
    countable infinity of these numbers, the length of the chain is
    countably infinite (since each number can be checked in a finite number
    of steps).

    Thus Godel's G is a statement that IS TRUE in the system, but there is
    no PROOF (which needs to be finite) in the system of that fact. We can
    prove these statements in the meta-system constructed to build that PRR
    (that exists in the base system F), but the proof doesn't translate to
    F, as it needs information that only exists in the meta-system.

    Your failure to understand this is just evidence of your lack of
    understanding.


    It is far from clear that a theory of that kind can express all
    arithmetic
    truths that Peano arithmetic can and avoid its incompletness.


    LP := ~True(LP) // AKA this sentence is not true
    is rejected as a not a truth-bearer.

    Fine, but the problem is that your statement just admits that it failed
    to define True by the requirements.

    if x is not a Truth-bearer, than True(x) must be FALSE, and thus
    ~True(x) to be true.

    The predicate True isn't allowed to "reject" statements, it must just
    map them whether they are true or not (and non-truth-bearers are not true).

    Your fundamental problem seems to be that you don't understand that the
    rules are the rules and you don't get to change them. This is a mark of
    a pathological liar.


    In the big picture way that truth really works there cannot
    possibly be true[0](x) that is not provable[0](x) where x
    is made true by finite strings expressing its semantic meanings.

    When one finite string expression of language is known to be true
    other expressions are know to be semantically entailed.

    Only if they are connected with (semantic or other) connections that
    are known to preserve truth.


    Yes, there must be truth preserving operations.

    More inportant is that there are no other operations.

    Formal logic fails at this some of the time.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion

    That is not a failure.


    I can never understand how anyone can be so gullible to
    believe that anything besides FALSE logically follows
    from a contradiction.

    Which just shows your ignorance.


    To me this seems the same as"dead rats" being stipulated
    as a kind of "live chicken" and all the biologists believe
    it because they mindlessly accept whatever they were told.

    Which just shows you don't know what you are talking about.

    A system that has in its stipulations something that leads to a
    contradiction, is inherently broken, and if it supports anything close
    to classic logic, you can use it to prove anything.


    The only thing that is actually semantically entailed by a
    contradiction is FALSE. (A & ~A) ⊨ FALSE

    Yes. And if false is true then everything is true because in ordinary
    logic (A ∨ ~A) is a tautology.

    I fail to understand how anyone could be gullible enough into
    being conned into believing that anything besides FALSE is
    entailed by a contradiction.

    Indeed. Everybody should understand that a contradiction entails
    FALSE, too.


    The received view of POE seems to prove that most people do not
    understand this.

    It just says that you don't understand what the POE says.

    If we get to a contradiction as a results of an assumption, logic says
    that assumption must be false.

    The POE says that once we accept as a truth something that leads to a contradiction, our logic system "explodes" and we can prove anything in
    it. This is why any assumption that leads to a contradiction must be false.


    We simply leave most of formal logic as it is with some changes:
    (1) Non-truth preserving operations are eliminated.

    There are none anyway.


    (A & ~A) ⊨ FALSE thus POE is incorrect.

    Nope, because POE says that

    *IF* we have as a consequence of our assumptions that (A & ~A) is True,
    then the system explodes,

    if (A & ~A) is never true, then we no longer can trigger the POE.


        A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if
        it takes a form that makes it impossible for the premises
        to be true and the conclusion nevertheless to be false.
        https://iep.utm.edu/val-snd/

    Yes. That is a feature of any formal logic system when interpreted so
    that
    logical operations satisfy their defining axioms.

    However, that requirement involves semantics so it is not applicable to
    a purely formal system.

    *We correct the above fundamental mistake*
        A deductive argument is said to be valid if and only if
        it takes a form that the conclusion is a necessary
        consequence of its premises.

    Not possible unless you define "necessafy consequence".


    Modal Logic already defines this.

    As if the results is always true when the premises are true, then they
    follow as a necessary consequence.


    (2) Semantics is fully integrated into every expression of
    language with each unique natural language sense meaning
    of a word having its own GUID.

    One kind of semantics. Different interpretations are still possible.


    The subjective leeway of interpretation utterly ceases to exist
    when every GUID semantic meaning is exhaustively defined.
    All expressions of lanhguage are comprised entirely of GUIDs.

    Nope. The problem is some words are used with a simulatanious spectrum
    of meanings in some context. GUIDs can't handle that.


    True[math] can only exist apart from Provable[math] within
    the narrow minded, idiomatic use of these terms. This is
    NOT the way that True[0] and Provable[0] actually work.

    If you want that to be true you need to define True[math] differently >>>>>> from the way "truth" is used by mathimaticians.

    We could equally define a "dead cat" to be a kind of {cow}.
    Math does not get to change the way that truth really works,
    when math tries to do this math is incorrect.

    Math does not care how truth works outside mathematics. But the truth
    about mathematics works the way truth usually does.

    Math is not allowed to break these rules without making math incorrect.

    It is. You have no authority to prohibit anything.


    When math tries to override how truth really works then
    math is necessarily incorrect.

    Nope, Your problem is that YOU don't understand how truth actually works.

    The problem is you don't understand the breadth of the meaning of words,
    and thus don't see that math actually restricts the meaning to be more
    precise.

    It is your philosophy that tries to override how truth really works in mathematics.


    My point is much more clear when we see that Tarski attempts
    to show that True[0] is undefinable.
    https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_247_248.pdf
    https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf

    Tarski did not attempt to show that True[0] is undefinable. He showed >>>>>> quite successfully that arthmetic truth is undefinable. Whether that >>>>>> proof applies to your True[0] is not yet determined.

    Tarski is the foremost author of the whole notion of every
    kind of truth. "snow is white" because within the actual state
    of affairs the color of snow is perceived by humans to be white.

    Many philosophers before and after Tarski have tried to find out what
    truth really is and how it works.

    And I am finishing the job.

    Unlikely. Philosohers' job is never finished.


    Within the limited domain of {expressions of language that
    are true on the basis of their meaning} I am finishing the job.

    Nope, just proving you don't understand what you are saying.

    The fact that you "responce" to every critisism is to just double down
    on your lies shows you don't have any real basis for your claims.

    there's a Comenius language of it that only
    truisms are well-formed formulas

    True(L,x) <is> a mathematical mapping from finite string
    expressions of language through a truthmaker to finite
    strings expressions providing formalized semantic meanings
    making the expression true.

    The prototype of a fallacy that he referred to is the
    recursive structure of pathological self-reference that
    never resolves to a truth value.

    And, such a mapping can't exist if the language allows references like:

    x is defined to be !True(L, x)


    When we frame it the succinct way that Ross framed it
    there's a Comenius language of it that only
    truisms are well-formed formulas

    And if True(L, x) isn't "well formed" then True fails to meet the
    requirements of a predicate, so you are just admitting that the required predicate doesn't exist.

    If it considers that statement x to be ill formed, and thus return
    false, then !True(L, x) must be true, or your logic doesn't provide a
    needed logical operator.

    And if True considers a true statement to be not-well formed, it
    violates your definition, and thus logic fails.


    Then the above expression is simply rejected as not
    a WFF of this Comenius language.

    And you thus admit that you logic doesn't meed the requirement for the
    proof.

    Yes, you can get rid of incompleteness by hobbling your logic and not
    allowing it the power to express the required things.

    Of course, part of the problem is I belive Comenius was just a
    philosopher in the broad sense, and not dealing with things in the field
    of FORMAL logic.


    As such a statement can't be mapped to True or False without also
    mapping True to False or False to True.

    Note, he shows that such a statement CAN be formed in logic system
    with certain minimal properties, like being able to express the
    Natural Numbers and their properties.

    So, I guess you are admitting that to you "logic" can't handle
    something like mathematics.


    The Comenius language expresses the key essence of the most
    important aspect of my idea, rejecting expressions that do
    not evaluate to Boolean as ill-formed. It only has TRUE
    and ill-formed. My system has TRUE, FALSE and ill-formed.

    All undecidable propositions fall into the ill-formed category
    and logic is otherwise essentially unchanged.


    Which isn't an allowed operation for a predicate, Like True, in Formal
    Logic.

    You are just showing that you don't understand how logic works.

    Sorry, that is just the facts, you are proving yourself to be a lying idiot.

    There are no problems than cannot be solved in a system
    that can also reject semantically incorrect expressions.

    So you think.

    So, what *IS* the answer to True(L, x) where x is !True(L, x)

    "Reject" is not an option unless you admit that your system can't handle
    the properties of the Natural Numbers, proving you are just a liar.

    We can easily extend the Comenius language to evaluate
    FALSE as well as TRUE by allowing True(L, x) to also
    evaluate True(L, ~x).

    When the essence of the change is to simply reject expressions

    The problem is your logic rejects its own output as semantic nonsense.

    Thus, it just fails to meet the requirements.

    Your problem is you think you can treat Formal Logic just like abstract philosophy, but it is very different.

    Philosophy argues about what the rules should be.

    Formal Logic decides to skip that argument, accept something shown to be working, and moves on. If you want a different definition, you can build
    your own Formal System, but there are generally accepted base rules.

    Your problem is you just don't know enough of how to setup rules to even
    try to create your own logic system, so you are just stuck in the
    abstract arguing about what rules to use, and can't actually talk about
    the Formal System, but just LIE and say you are.

    That is the facts, which you have shown yourself too stupid to understand.

    Instead of just usual model theory and axiomatics
    and "what's true in the logical theory", "what's
    not falsified in the scientific theory", you can
    have a theory where the quantity is truth, and
    then there's a Comenius language of it that only
    truisms are well-formed formulas, then the Liar
    "paradox" is only a prototype of a fallacy,

    The prototype of a fallacy that he referred to is the
    recursive structure of pathological self-reference that
    never resolves to a truth value.

    And, such a mapping can't exist if the language allows references like:

    x is defined to be !True(L, x)


    When we frame it the succinct way that Ross framed it
    there's a Comenius language of it that only

    So, what does True(L, x) say for an x defined as !True(L, x)

    All answers are just wrong.

    In the Comenius language: x := ~True(L,x)
    is rejected as an ill-formed-formula.
    Ross really did boil down the essence much more succinctly.


    So, what is the answer? What answer does True(L, x) return?

    When x := ~True(L, x) then the Comenius language parser
    returns: Syntax Error.

    Which Comenius language parser you tried?
    Can you give an example of what that parser does accept?


    There is an inheritance hierarchy tree of knowledge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science)
    containing all of the basic facts. Each node on this tree
    has its own unique GUID. These facts are formalized natural
    language using something like Montague Grammar. This provides all
    of the unique sense meanings of every natural language term.

    When a finite string expression of language lacks a connection
    though a truthmaker to the semantics meanings that make it
    true then it is rejected as untrue.

    x := ~True(L, x) is rejected as untrue where L is the
    body of human knowledge.

    So the best you can do is to respond verbosely hoping that we
    don't notice that you can't answer the question. But we notice.

    The problem is your logic rejects its own output as semantic nonsense.


    Spouting off nonsense without any actual basis in reasoning...


    WHat nonsense? I speak a fact.

    The "result" of True(L, x) must be an output of your logic system.

    To say that !True(L, x) is a "nonsense", means either you logic doesn't
    have a well define negation operator, or True(L, x) is itself nonsense.

    Thus, your "logic" calls itself nonsense.

    All you are doing is proving that everything you have been saying is
    just built on nonsense, and that nonsense is your native tongue.

    But your logic needs to reject some of the results of your logic as semantically incorrect, and thus your logic is itself semantically

    There is nothing like that in the following concrete example:
    LP := ~True(LP)

    In other words you are saying the Prolog is incorrect
    to reject the Liar Paradox.

    Above translated to Prolog

    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    According to Prolog rules LP = not(true(LP)) is permitted to fail.
    If it succeeds the operations using LP may misbehave. A memory
    leak is also possible.

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false

    This merely means that the result of unification would be that LP conains itself. It could be a selmantically valid result but is not in the scope
    of Prolog language.

    By showing that given the necessary prerequisites, The equivalent of the

    That LP *CAN* be defined to be the equivalent of not(True(LP)) is a

    for it, and no value that it can come up is valid, thus True can't exist
    and meet its requirements.

    Your logic seems to be based on the concept that requirements are just optional, and you can claim anything you want to, whether true or not.

    There are no problems than cannot be solved in a system
    that can also reject semantically incorrect expressions.

    The topic of the discussion is completeness. Is there a complete system
    that can solve all solvable problems?

    When the essence of the change is to simply reject expressions
    that specify semantic nonsense there is no reduction in the
    expressive power of such a system.

    The essence of the change is not sufficient to determine that.

    In the same way that 3 > 2 is stipulated the essence of the
    change is that semantically incorrect expressions are rejected.
    Disagreeing with this is the same as disagreeing that 3 > 2.

    But your logic needs to reject some of the results of your logic as
    semantically incorrect, and thus your logic is itself semantically
    incorrect.


    There is nothing like that in the following concrete example:
    LP := ~True(LP)

    In other words you are saying the Prolog is incorrect
    to reject the Liar Paradox.

    Above translated to Prolog

    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    According to Prolog rules LP = not(true(LP)) is permitted to fail.
    If it succeeds the operations using LP may misbehave. A memory
    leak is also possible.

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false

    This merely means that the result of unification would be that LP conains
    itself. It could be a selmantically valid result but is not in the scope
    of Prolog language.


    It does not mean that. You are wrong.

    It does in the context where it was presented. More generally, unify_with_occurs_check also fails if the arguments are not
    unfiable. But this possibility is already excluded by their
    successfull unification.

    I am not going bother to quote Clocksin and Mellish
    proving that you are wrong.

    You are right, a quote that does not support your claim
    is not a good idea.

    It can be easily handled as ~True(LP) & ~True(~LP), Tarski just
    didn't think it through.

    No, it can't. Tarski requires that True be a predicate, i.e, a truth
    valued function of one term. Therefore LP must be a term. But the
    argument of ~ must be a formula, not a term. Therefore the expression
    ~True(LP) & ~True(~LP) is not syntactiaclly valid and therefore does
    not mean anything.

    Nope.

    It is YOU that can't handle logic,

    What VALUE does True(LP) have?

    Your problem is you can't face the facts, so you go to your diversions,
    because all you are is a liar.

    Remember, if True calls "LP" nonsense, it is calling itself nonsense, as
    LP is defined in relationship to True, and the relationship is shown to
    be a valid one by the earlier proof of Tarski, which you just ignore and
    call nonsense, which means you are just calling logic itself nonsense,
    because to you, it is, because EVERYTHING to you is nonsense as your
    brain is stuck in a broken logic system.

    This was not what Tarski was saying.
    Tarski got totally confused by the fact that:

    This sentence is not true: "this sentence is not true"
    is true (in his meta-language).

    So, which step in the PROOF of that did he make a mistake?



    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/tarski-truth/#ObjLanMet

    The above true sentence is true in the meta-language because
    it eliminates the pathological self-reference of the inner
    sentence. This PSR makes the inner sentence not a truth-bearer.

    But it was established by his earlier proof.


    Even the current greatest experts in the field of truth bearer
    maximalism do not quite fully get this key point. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/truthmakers/#Max

    Part of the issue with them not getting this key point
    is that they do not carefully divide empirical truth
    from truth on the basis of meaning expressed using language analytical(Olcott) truth.


    So, your idea is that all of logic is just broken so nothing makes sense.

    Sorry, we prefer to use working logic, understanding that somethings
    will be unknown to logic that lies to us.

    The fact that you prefer logic that lies just shows that you are just a pathologocal liar.

    Go freaking read the Clocksin and Mellish.
    an "infinite term" means NOT SEMANTICALLY VALID.

    Prolog does not define any semantics other than the execution semantics
    of a prolog program. Therefore no data structure has any own semantics.

    The result of the exectution of an instruction like LP == not(true(LP))
    is not fully defined by the standard so we may say that that instruction
    is semantically invalid.

    This was not what Tarski was saying.

    Yes, he was. He just assumed that his readers already know that the
    Liar Paradox does not have a truth value so he didn't need to be
    emphatically explicit about that point.

    In other words you never read this:
    https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf

    Did you? Nowhere on those pages he claims that the Liar paradox is true
    nor that the Liar paradox is false.


    We shall show that the sentence x is actually undecidable and at the
    same time true.

    https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_247_248.pdf

    Care to show where on that page it says what you said it says?


    Of course, this is just your typical lying about what someone has said
    and putting words in their mouths to try tp prove your point, but
    instead just prove that you are nothing but a lair.

    I think you are misapplying your own definitions to try to read into
    what he says what you want it to say so you can disprove it.

    In other words, you lie about it to put your strawman into it.



    On what page and line did Tarski say anything that could justfy
    the claim you made above?

    There is no "need not fail" Clocksin and Mellish says
    impossible to succeed (paraphrase).

    No, that is not said. In a footnote they say that the behaviour is undefined, i.e., an implementation may choose what to do. They do say that a typical implementation does not fail, which implies "need not fail".

    More precisely it says that there is a cycle in the
    directed graph of the evaluation sequence of the expression.

    Assuming that the unification does not fail.

    That you fail to understands that the following means this
    is your lack of understanding not my mistake.

    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    It means that the pariticular implementation you used exploited the
    "need not fail" permission, producing a cycle in the data structure.

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    For this operation there is no "need not fail". The standard specifies that
    the operation must fail.

    Because the Prolog Liar Paradox has an “uninstantiated subterm of
    itself” we can know that unification will fail because it specifies
    “some kind of infinite structure.”

    Wrong. You above said that the unification LP = not(true(LP)) did not
    fail. It may fail on another implementation but that is not required.

    Go back and read the Clocksin and Mellish example and quote on
    the same page until you totally understand it. You only need
    example the yellow highlighted text.

    The supreme authority is not Clocksin and Mellish but ISO/IEC 13211.

    If you don't muck up the meanings

    That is hard to avoid in contexts where you do.

    of common terms
    with idiomatic term-of-the-art meanings then true
    and undecidable is the impossibility of true without

    Should this be interpreted according to the term-of-art menings or

    Did you? Nowhere on those pages he claims that the Liar paradox is true >>>>>> nor that the Liar paradox is false.

    We shall show that the sentence x is actually undecidable and at the >>>>> same time true.

    At that point Tarski has alredy known that the sentence s can be constructed
    and that it can be represented by an object that the theory can handle. >>>> Later Tarski ideed shows that the sentence x is both undecidable and true. >>>> But x is not the liar paradox.

    If you don't muck up the meanings

    That is hard to avoid in contexts where you do.

    of common terms
    with idiomatic term-of-the-art meanings then true
    and undecidable is the impossibility of true without
    a truth-maker.

    Should this be interpreted according to the term-of-art menings or
    common language meanings or some other meanings?

    When we use provable(common) that means
    {shown to be definitely true by whatever means}
    then incompleteness and undecidability cannot exist.

    How should that be parsed?

    It just says that your prolog system is defective as it does not
    reject
    your LP = not(true(LP)). The Prolog standard says that this
    operation may
    but need not fail. It also cortectly says that
     LP = not(true(LP)), write(LP)
    would not work.

    There is no "need not fail" Clocksin and Mellish says
    impossible to succeed (paraphrase).

    No, that is not said. In a footnote they say that the behaviour is
    undefined,
    i.e., an implementation may choose what to do. They do say that a
    typical
    implementation does not fail, which implies "need not fail".

    More precisely it says that there is a cycle in the
    directed graph of the evaluation sequence of the expression.

    Assuming that the unification does not fail.

    That you fail to understands that the following means this
    is your lack of understanding not my mistake.

    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    It means that the pariticular implementation you used exploited the
    "need not fail" permission, producing a cycle in the data structure.

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    For this operation there is no "need not fail". The standard
    specifies that
    the operation must fail.

    Because the Prolog Liar Paradox has an “uninstantiated subterm of
    itself” we can know that unification will fail because it specifies >>>>> “some kind of infinite structure.”

    Wrong. You above said that the unification LP = not(true(LP)) did not
    fail. It may fail on another implementation but that is not required.

    Go back and read the Clocksin and Mellish example and quote on
    the same page until you totally understand it. You only need
    example the yellow highlighted text.

    The supreme authority is not Clocksin and Mellish but ISO/IEC 13211.

    Clocksin and Mellish concretely show the result of the

    Irrelevant.


    Your above replies prove that you do not understand this
    thus cannot correctly say that it is irrelevant.

    Prolog determines that all expressions that are
    isomorphic to their concrete example are semantically
    incorrect because these expressions have an infinitely

    incorrect because these expressions have an infinitely

    In the logic that Prolog supports, which is very limited.

    No that is not it. You don't seem to understand
    the idea that an infinite loop is an error.

    No, an infinite loop is NOT and error for determining truth, it would be
    for a proof.


    For instance, the fact that G is made true by the infinite loop of
    testing with a finite test for EVERY Natural Number, and seeing that
    they don't satisfy the relationship, is a perfectly valid method of the statement becoming true, even if it doesn't let us know it is true,
    since we can't see the loop completing.

    The problem is it isn't the "infinite" part that is the problem, it is
    the type of loop.


    Both the C&M concrete example and the Liar Paradox
    are infinite loops.


    So? It seems you believe in the fallicy of proof by example.

    Part of your problem is you read just the Clift Notes version of the
    Proofs, and don't see the actual source structure where the statements
    you equate to the Liar are not just simple self-contradictory
    statements, but are derived for a series of logical steps, and the fact
    that the results are self-contradictory tells us that some initial
    assumption was incorrect.

    For Tarski, it is that idea that a True predicate can exist in a system
    that supports the properties of the Natural Numbers, because from those
    two fact we can get to that contradictory statement.

    You don't seem to understand the nature of (dis-)proof by contradiction.

    There is no "need not fail" Clocksin and Mellish says

    More precisely it says that there is a cycle in the
    directed graph of the evaluation sequence of the expression.

    Assuming that the unification does not fail.

    That you fail to understands that the following means this
    is your lack of understanding not my mistake.

    ?- LP = not(true(LP)).
    LP = not(true(LP)).

    It means that the pariticular implementation you used exploited the >>>>>>>> "need not fail" permission, producing a cycle in the data
    structure.

    ?- unify_with_occurs_check(LP, not(true(LP))).
    false.

    For this operation there is no "need not fail". The standard
    specifies that
    the operation must fail.

    Because the Prolog Liar Paradox has an “uninstantiated subterm >>>>>>>>> of itself” we can know that unification will fail because it >>>>>>>>> specifies “some kind of infinite structure.”

    Wrong. You above said that the unification LP = not(true(LP))
    did not
    fail. It may fail on another implementation but that is not
    required.

    Go back and read the Clocksin and Mellish example and quote on >>>>>>>>> the same page until you totally understand it. You only need >>>>>>>>> example the yellow highlighted text.

    The supreme authority is not Clocksin and Mellish but ISO/IEC
    13211.

    Clocksin and Mellish concretely show the result of the
    infinitely recursive structure of their concrete example.

    Irrelevant.


    Your above replies prove that you do not understand this
    thus cannot correctly say that it is irrelevant.

    Prolog determines that all expressions that are
    isomorphic to their concrete example are semantically
    incorrect because these expressions have an infinitely
    recursive structure.




    In the logic that Prolog supports, which is very limited.

    No that is not it. You don't seem to understand
    the idea that an infinite loop is an error.

    No, an infinite loop is NOT and error for determining truth, it would
    be for a proof.


    For instance, the fact that G is made true by the infinite loop of
    testing with a finite test for EVERY Natural Number,

    The infinite loop prevents any testing from being performed
    LP := ~True(LP)  specifies: ~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(...))))))
    As Clocksin and Mellish show on their example.


    Nope. Because the concept of that substitution is just invalid.

    Tarskis method is actually based on the same sort of grounds as Godel,
    and the derivation of the statement that we simplify to say is

    LP := ~True(LP)

    Has no infinite loops, other than the infinite iteration for all Natural Numbers, which is allowed.

    Your problem is you are just working from the Clift Notes version, and
    ignoring the actual statement that was made.

    Ignoring Closksin and Mellish is a dishonest rebuttal


    Closksin and Mellish are talking PROLOG, not LOGIC.

    You forget that PROLOG can't handle all logic.

    Yes, when you mangle the statements to fit within the limitations of
    Prolog, Prolog will reject them.

    That doesn't mean a thing about the statement in the original logic system.

    But then, it seems you are too stupid to understand the limitations of
    Prolog, maybe because you don't understand logic that is more
    complecated than Prolog can handle.

    Closksin and Mellish are talking PROLOG, not LOGIC.


    They are talking about a specific generic logical an anomaly
    that applies to the entire class of decision problems having
    pathological self-reference they are using Prolog to make their
    explanation concrete.

    Which isn't the class of problems we are talking about.


    If you do not understand then that it means this then you
    are not paying enough. Because I created Minimal Type Theory
    to detect this same generic anomaly as a cycle in the directed
    graph of the evaluation sequence of an expression I have a
    complete basis for my understanding of the C&M text.

    I  will post links abut MTT as needed.


    No, it just shows that YOU don't understand what they are talkking about.

    Prolog determines that all expressions that are

    incorrect because these expressions have an infinitely
    recursive structure.




    In the logic that Prolog supports, which is very limited.

    No that is not it. You don't seem to understand

    As Clocksin and Mellish show on their example.


    Nope. Because the concept of that substitution is just invalid.


    Ignoring Closksin and Mellish is a dishonest rebuttal


    Closksin and Mellish are talking PROLOG, not LOGIC.


    They are talking about a specific generic logical an anomaly
    that applies to the entire class of decision problems having
    pathological self-reference they are using Prolog to make their
    explanation concrete.

    Which isn't the class of problems we are talking about.


    LP := ~True(LP)


    Which is the SIMPIFIED form of the expresion.

    read what Tarski actually wrote.

    The actual "expression" for p was not given, just that it was shown to
    have the property that its value was the opposite of True(p).

    This is based on the same sort of logic that Godel's G is built on, that
    we can express a lot of logic as mathematics.

    Of course, when you can't understand that basis, you misunderstand the simplifications given.

    The syntax of my Minimal Type Theory exactly maps
    to the Prolog equivalent such that Prolog recognizes
    and rejects this infinite recursion.

    Garbage In, Garbage out,

    Since you don't understnd the original statement, your claim is just bodus.

    Of course, since you have admitted that your logic system is based on
    the FRAUD that you are allowed to change the fundamental meaning of core
    terms of the system, nothing you have said at any time can be beleives,
    because you have admitted that the words you use don't need to mean what
    others would assume them to mean, because you might have hidden a

    Sorry, all you have done if flushed your lifes work down the toilet
    because nothing in it can be trusted because you have shown that your
    "logic" is based on the right to lie.

    You apparently never really understood the basic terms of art, so
    created your own and claimed that you get to decide what the terems

    You are just nothing but a pathological liar with a total disregard for

    Prolog proves that the Liar Paradox is infinitely recursive.
    When it is proven that the Liar Paradox <is> infinitely
    recursive then any notion of undecidability based on it is
    ill-conceived.


    But only when expressed in that simple form.

    It doesn't say that, for example, Tarski's proof is based on similar
    recursive statments, because it doesn't ACTUALLY say that x was defined
    to be exactly !True(x), but that x was defined in a way that it was true
    if and only if True(x) was false.

    In The paper's own words:

    by forming in the language itself a sentence x
    such that the sentence of the metalanguage which is correlated
    with x asserts that x is not a true sentence.


    The key here is that the reduction to the liar paradox only happens in
    the interpretation in the metalanguage, not in the lanugage that the
    statement is itself expressed in.

    Just like Godel's G, that in the Theory, as a mathematical statement
    about numbers, that has no possibility to be "recursive" in that manner.

    Of course the problem is that expression for G (or Tarski's p) can not
    be expressed in Prolog, as it is based on Universal Qualifiers over an
    infinite set, something Prolog can not handle, or it seems your own logic.

    Then we have the fact that you have admitted to having changed the
    meaning of soe core terms-of-art (without an exhaustive listing) so
    everything you claim needs to be considered suspect, as we don't know
    what you actually mean by them.

    All you are doing is proving that you think lying about what you talk
    about is ok, and that perhaps you are too stupid to understand what you
    don't understand, as apparently if you can't express it in a form that
    Prolog will accept, it isn't true, which means your "logic" doesn't have
    even the full properties of the Natural Numbers.
